Here we are, already at March 4th. How did that happen? We are ready though, to march forth :) Time just doesn't stop, does it? Even as much as we might want it to. I have so enjoyed getting to know all of your kiddos this year and look forward to sharing all of their amazing accomplishments with you at Student Led Conferences over the next couple of weeks. If you did not receive my email to sign up for a time, please let me know.

This week's IA: PE *We are climbing this week and are in need of belayers. If you have been trained, and are available to help us, we climb from 9:55-10:45, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. I know other crews would appreciate your help too. So, if you can volunteer more of your time, that would be wonderful!

Next week's IA: Art

Our Winter Voyage was a HUGE success! I hope your children expressed the same sentiments! The kids did an amazing job of showing ALL of our character traits. I was so impressed with everyone. Your children will be sharing their reflections from Adventure Education with you at their student led conferences. Here are a few pictures from our time together in Larkspur.

The week before we left on our Voyage, we had the honor of presenting our findings and graphs from the Starlighting to a panel of representatives from the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce. Better late than never. Our graphs we very well received and they are excited to use the information we collected for them to help with planning future events. Talk about an authentic purpose and audience! 

As you know, I attended a writing conference last week. I am so very excited about the changes that will be coming to our classroom in writing! I will be showing you where your child is as a writer and where they're going, during student led conferences.
